    Given the fact that we gave up the best starting pitcher we have developed in a generation to get him it's not a matter of IS he but one of he had BETTER be.

    I know it's difficult for the folks who run and, for the most part, follow, this site to contemplate but it IS possible that the glass, just MIGHT be half full.

    Santana is NOT a really good comp. By the time he was Prielipp's age he had four years in the big leagues and in that age 25 season won the first of those Cy Youngs.

    I don't really care who is number 2. Just want to see all of them here and succeeding in the next three years and see all of them (except Tait) get significant big league exposure this season since there may well not be a season in 2027 and I don't want to be sitting here two years hence and without these guys having seen the bigs.

    Solano is the cautionary tale for expectations. I remember questioning the signing. Even more questions when he had 5 RBI by late May. By the end of the season, we don't win the division without what he brought to the table. So it CAN happen. Nobody expected a Gold Glove from Carlos Santana either.

    Doesn't have to be a unique strategy. Just has to work.

    lot of other ways to get a decent reliever with upside other than trading your starting catcher.

    Only 6 Twins had a higher WAR than Caratini in 2025. One of them was traded at the deadline. Lewis, Wallner, Larnach & Lee were NOT among the six. I think he'll fit in just fine. Lots of talk about Jeffers playing some first base. Caratini has actually DONE that.

    Keep remembering that the return from the Varland trade is a 23 year old left handed pitcher who is currently ranked as our 5th best prospect and projected to arrive in the big leagues in 2026. Hell, the fact that he's left handed probably makes the trade a win.
  10. dxpavelka
    True. But bullpens CAN be built fairly quickly. In fact, most teams rebuild at least half of their bullpen every off-season.
  11. dxpavelka
    Didn't say that. But there is NO reason to believe he is any better than the ones we added. Except your vitriol towards ownership and management.
  12. dxpavelka
    Fitzgerald is literally the poster child for mediocre vet. On his best day.
  13. dxpavelka
    Any move that takes potential at bats away from Jenkins, Rodriguez or Gonzalez is a firm NO from me.
  14. dxpavelka
    Hopefully that last statement still holds true in 3 years. WOULD be kind of funny to see Twins fans have to eat crow about some of those deadline trades.
  15. dxpavelka
    Your opinion and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee. Not the good kind but the crappy kind you get for a quarter.
  16. dxpavelka
    That does not enthuse.
  17. dxpavelka
    The key objective should be making sure guys like Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Culpepper, Abel & Rojas get significant big league experience in 2026. With the very real possibility of there being no major league baseball in 2027 we don't want to be sitting here two years hence having no clue what these fellas are going to look like against real live MLB bullets.

    Too bad Realmuto's agent isn't Boras. It's getting late enough in the game that Boras might find a way to get him here. Oh, well.
  19. dxpavelka
    Would you buy 20 PowerBall tickets for $2 each our would you spend $20 for one?
  20. dxpavelka
    That's 700 PA career not in back to back seasons.
  21. dxpavelka
    Not a bad pick up for a team hoping to have a guy taking big steps forward in his first full season as the expected starter at the position and with another potential starter expected to make his debut this year.
  22. dxpavelka
    Can't really make solid judgements on a guy with barely 700 career plate appearances. Need to see a lot of him this year
  23. dxpavelka
    And you can't say he would not have. Works both ways.
  24. dxpavelka
    But one of the two has eaten up over three times as many innings since that trade as the other. Completely changes the demands on the rest of the staff. Sure you can say he wouldn't have signed here. But, when he did sign there the first thought was that the team got a good deal. We would have been wise to have made that same deal.

    His performance in Toronto has little bearing on what his performance here might have been. And, truth be told, his ERA in Toronto is almost EXACTLY the same as his ERA here.
